Positive: My wife and I stayed there for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon trip across Zanzibar and we loved staying in Mambo Paradise. The hotel is located in a small fishing village and you can watch the fisherman bring their catches to the shore and experience the everyday life of the locals. The hotel sourced seafood from the nearby local fish market, which meant delicious meals every day! The staff were extremely lovely and helpful, we even got fresh coconuts from the tree gathered just for us :) If you're looking to visit Mnemba for snorkeling, speak to the staff and they will arrange a group or a private tour for you, we loved it. The owners were welcoming and offered advice on other activities.
Negative: Nothing.
Summary: Great stay in a quiet part of Zanzibar with a view on Mnemba Island and lovely sunrise!

Positive: Mambo Paradise was the jewel in the crown for our very brief stay in Zanzibar. It is a small, family run hotel located on the beach in front of a tradition fishing village. Highlights: food so fresh and cooked to order, staff are exceptionally helpful and pleasant, endless opportunities to savour lical life such as men bringing in their catch to adjacent fish market, kids swimming and playing soccer, walking the beach on soft powdery white sand. To sum up a very relaxed easy going environment. Pandu who works at mambo paradise runs an excellence early morning boat trip, swim with dolphins, in torquoise waters and super snorkeling (very fair rate). Pavel and Kasha run a super hotel - thank you.
Negative: Perhaps a savignon blanc, i don't like chardonnay or chenin
Summary: Mambo Paradise-authentic Zanzibar experience in very comfortable hotel

Positive: The managers and staff were incredibly nice and helpful. The room was large and beautiful. The upstairs terrace has a splendid view and is comfortable. The staff helped us to arrange fun activities according to our preferences. Breakfast was good. The hotel is located far away from everything- which is nice if this is what you expect, but can be difficult if you want to go somewhere or do things around.
Negative: The water in the bathroom is SALT water. No wifi in the room, only upstairs. It is written in booking.com that the hotel provides laundry services, however this is not the case. The beach outside the hotel is lovely, but full of boats so swimming is impossible. The restaurant was not to our (mediterranean) taste.

Positive: The location and the facility itself are beautiful! The host/owner Kasia is kind, caring and very accommodating. She made her stay extremely comfortable and pleasant. The restaurant food was fantastic especially the fresh caught seafood. The hotel staff was extremely attentive and helpful. We would definitely recommend this hotel and stay there again.
Negative: The air conditioning was a little bit weak as it tended to take a while to really cool down the room, which made it a little bit hard to sleep with the high humidity in Zanzibar. Although going upstairs to the restaurant level was comfortable because there was always a breeze.
Summary: Very authentic, clean hotel with fabulous staff!

Positive: This small 7 room hotel is owned and operated by a polish couple which is most helpful and pleasant. The lady of the house is a former Tv presenter, and she and her husband are there daily to help the customers with whatever they need on a very flexible and friendly manner. They will give you recommendations on all possible excursions and dos and don’ts in Zanzibar. The hotel has an excellent restaurant with good seafood and with only local and fresh raw material, the meals are cooked specially for you so they will adjust it to any wishes you might have. The scenery is nice with white beaches and a calm and quite atmosphere, you can walk freely during evenings. You can also choose to walk to other restaurants nearby.
Negative: The hotel is in a very quiet area, which good for some, but too quiet for others. You can only go to other places by car. The hotel is close to a minaret in the small fishing village. The pool is clean, with good circulation, but small. The beach outside the hotel has no swimming possibilities because it is a shallow lagoon inside a reef, to swim you need to walk to other beached nearby.
Summary: Pleasants and helpful hosts will make your stay great at Mambo Paradise

Positive: Our experience of zanzibar cannot be complete without this resort. Truly a paradise. I give them an 11/10. You might think this is an over exaggeration, and yes, it is not. Why? Because they also don't hold back on their sensitivity. The staff in mambo have sensitivity on 20/10. Whatever they lack as a facility, they make up for in sensitivity. Truly, they do not lack much. Clean, airy, spacious, noiseless, very clean again. Now to the sensitive part; they need to be given a thripple thumbs up thats why I give them 20/10. They will TAKE CARE OF YOU. They make sure you are comfy, always asking if yoh are fine and even if you are not happy they go out of their way to make you happy. As much as you pay for this service they make it worth the while. MAMBO IS A PARADISE OF SENSITIVE PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU TO ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY AND BE AT PEACE NO MATTER HOW SHORT OR LENGTHY YOUR STAY IS. THEIR MANAGER IS A GEM. I'D GO AGAIN IF I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY. PLEASE GO IF YOU ARE READING THIS
Negative: Absolutely nothing
Summary: It was awesome
